Abstract: Please join Steve Schuettinger, Oracle Solution
Architect, in a discussion that focuses on what’s important to
you when deploying Oracle databases. Suggested topics include
performance, scalability, availability, manageability, root cause
analysis and backup/recovery. These are suggested because we’d
like to encourage you to bring your top-of-mind questions to the
session. Nothing is off limits. The objective is to help you
understand how NetApp solutions can help you meet your service
level objectives without increasing risk.

NetApp has thousands of customers who have chosen to deploy
their Oracle databases on NetApp. The value discussion points will
be underscored with real world examples. You’ll also learn what
NetApp and Oracle are engineering together with focus on you, the
Oracle DBA.

Session
2

Speaker: Tony Lee, System Engineer Manager, NetApp

Topic: Technical Demonstration – Oracle on AFF

90% of all database performance issues can be traced to the
storage tier. Reduce latency during peak loads, and boost Oracle
Database performance where you need it most, by using NetApp All
Flash FAS or EF-Series all-flash storage systems.

Steven began his career working as an application developer for
a US defense contractor using Oracle version 5. He soon became a
DBA where he focused on performance and manageability. Steve was
the first Oracle DBA at Sun Microsystems, in Silicon Valley, in
1992 and worked as their technical alliance manager with Oracle.
He has been consulting with customers for many years while
managing the technical aspects of the relationship between NetApp,
where he has worked since 2005, and Oracle. During his career he
has developed an interactive style of working with DBAs where he
talks about the challenges they face and the unique solutions
NetApp provides. All of these discussions are delivered in the
language of the DBA, rather than the storage administrator.
